How the world's largest concentrated solar power project works

  • Modern technologies create opportunities for any state to switch to renewable sources of cheap energy from water, wind, or the sun.
    But for this to happen, of course, efforts must be made and several large-scale reforms and projects implemented, as was done, for instance, in Morocco. How did this country manage to build the largest concentrated solar power plant that generates electricity even at night?
    And what has enabled Morocco, which has meager oil and gas reserves, to become the largest energy importer in the Middle East and North Africa?
    Check out our video! Morocco is the only country in North Africa that does not have its own fossil fuel reserves and imports more than 90% of its energy resources. Attempts to develop the industry led to electricity consumption increasing by 5.6% per year, and there is nowhere to take it within the country. The government spends billions of dollars importing fuel.
    To rid the state of energy dependence, King Mohammed VI set a goal: To generate 52% of electricity needs using green energy by 2030.
    But how will it be achieved? Hydro resources in Morocco are bad; most of the rivers dry up, and reservoirs built in the 1960s provide the population with drinking water, but their energy resource is limited. In 2008 the authorities adopted the New Energy Strategy.

    The actual cost was closer to 9 billion USD, not 700,000 euro.
    It seems the plant had a bad molten salt leak this year as well, costing around 40 million to repair and replace damaged equipment.

    It all looks very impressive. I was actually brought here by the fact that my country is planning to embark on a similar (though smaller) project. Just one quibble: at 4:00, I think he said the facility uses 19 tons of diesel fuel per day. That's a lot of carbon-emitting fossil fuel for a supposedly green energy source. Can this thing really be considered a source of renewable energy if it uses that much fossil fuel?

    This is being presented as "proven" technology. I'd love to see some ACTUAL performance data from these units. The Ivanpah (Nevada) plant took 7 years to get to 90% of its claimed annual capacity. The Crescent Dunes (California) has never got even close. Tragic for those awaiting the off-take supply. So far the Capex cost has been about US$5M/MW. Conventional PV plants in Australia have a Capacity Factor of about 17%. These plants are claiming 26% to 36%. How close does the dream get to the inconvenient truth. Wind plants across all of Australia average a CF of about 30%. Forget the installed capacity and how many houses that these plants can supply. I'm used to my power on demand 24/7/365 and am happy to pay for it. Ivanpah ended up consuming >4x the initial estimate annual natural gas consumption. Update: I note GlobalData info works out at a Capacity Factor of only 21% for the plants between 2019-2021. I would think that the cheaper PV would have provided about the same. What was the final chargeout cost??
